Where To Stay For The FIFA World Cup 2022: Why Rixos Gulf Doha Will Be Our Go-To Destination

Located near the football stadiums, the Rixos Gulf Doha luxury beachfront resort will provide an idyllic sanctuary away from the rambunctious football crowds

As the final countdown to the 22^nd FIFA tournament begins, those lucky enough to have secured tickets to one of the world’s largest sporting events will be looking to secure accommodation.

Fortunately, the Rixos Gulf Hotel Resort in Doha, centrally situated, is set to open just in time to cater to World Cup goers. Originally known as Qatar’s first five-star hotel when it was initially inaugurated in 1973, the resort sits on an exclusive strip of real estate lapping the Arabian Gulf.

The Rixos brand has now reimagined the hotel into a world-class all-inclusive concept. It flaunts over 378 spacious rooms and suites that epitomise comfort and style. Each room is equipped with the latest technology and adorned with plush furnishings. Guests can choose between panoramic views of either the sea or the city skyline. Its close proximity to Doha International Airport makes it ideal for both business travellers and vacationers alike. 

In keeping true to the Rixos model, the resort looks to give its guests an all-around lifestyle experience. It features 3 pools, 13 private cabanas, a Turkish-inspired spa, a kids club, and a state-of-the-art fitness centre complete with a yoga studio.

Enjoying fine food is an essential part of any memorable holiday. For this reason, there are an impressive 7 delectable gourmet experiences from which to choose. The open-buffet service offered at Farmhouse deserves special mention as it sources solely farm-fresh ingredients and is conveniently open to guests all day.

Another highlight for those seeking an authentic Indian culinary experience is Rasa – the place to go for a modern take on traditional fare. For steak aficionados, there is Mr. Tailor, an upscale steakhouse serving only the finest and rarest cuts of meat, brought in from around the globe.

Since it wouldn’t be a vacation without a bit of over-indulgence, the hotel also has a bakery, called Crust, for the sweet-tooth non-deniers. Open 24-hours it serves cakes and pastries – so guests need not fret if a late-night match goes into overtime.

Soaking in the historic event that is to be the first World Cup held in the Middle East, will be all the more of a momentous occasion with a stay in this quintessential Doha landmark, now newly refurbished to the exacting standards of the Rixos brand.
